Abstract: Marine ecosystems cover more than 70% of the globe’s surface. These habitats are occupied by a great diversity of marine organisms that produce highly structural diverse metabolites as a defense mechanism. In the last decades, these metabolites have been extracted and isolated in order to test them in different bioassays and assess their potential to fight human diseases. Since traditional extraction techniques are both solvent- and time-consuming, this review emphasizes alternative extraction techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction, pressurized solvent extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, pulsed electric field-assisted extraction, enzyme-assisted extraction, and extraction with switchable solvents and ionic liquids, applied in the search for marine compounds. Only studies published in the 21st century are considered. Keywords: marine compounds; enzyme-assisted extraction; ionic liquids; microwave-assisted extraction; pressurized solvent extraction; pulsed electric field-assisted extraction; supercritical fluid extraction; ultrasound-assisted extraction; switchable solvents

1. Introduction Since the 1960’s the interest in the marine environment has greatly increased and during the last fifty years more than 20,000 compounds were isolated from marine organisms. The development of the high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR) in the 1970’s greatly contributed to this scenario [1] and since 1984 systematic annual reviews have been published, reporting novel marine compounds [2–31]. Before 1985, less than 100 natural products were discovered annually, but this number shifted to about 300 in 1987, remaining constant (500–600 products per year) in the late 1990s–2000s [1]. After 2008, the period not covered by the review by Hu et al. [1] that was mainly based on reviews by Faulkner [2–19] and Blunt et al. [20–31], Blunt and co-workers took into consideration 1011 new compounds in 2009 [28], 1003 in 2010 [29], 1152 in 2011 [30] and 1241 in 2012 [31]. Despite this huge amount of new compounds described in the literature, only a small fraction has been extensively studied, mainly for commercial/pharmaceutical purposes. This review will focus on the period after 2000 and will describe the best extraction conditions to obtain high-value compounds, such as carotenoids, fatty acids, sterols, volatile and phenolic compounds, among others. Eight alternative extraction methods, known by their high efficiency and low solvent and time consumptions, will be covered, namely microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pressurized solvent extraction (PSE), pulsed electric field-assisted extraction (PEF), enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE), and extraction with switchable solvents and ionic liquids (ILs). However, as we will discuss at the end of this review, the common practices are still far away from what is desired for the 21st century and, probably, more work and more environmental policies are needed to convince the research community and the industry to move one step forward and replace the conventional extractions (Soxhlet and maceration) by those described herein. 2. Extraction of Compounds The preparation of natural matrices for chemical and biological analyses involves multiple steps, aiming to improve the separation of the analytes of interest to be further analyzed [32–34]. This review emphasizes the steps concerning the extraction of metabolites. Solid-liquid extraction (SLE) is a term used to describe the extraction of soluble constituents from a solid or semisolid matrix using suitable solvents [35]. Considering that natural matrices are complex and may contain thousands of compounds, SLE can be a long and tedious process since it is a procedure involving five sequential steps: (1) penetration of the solvent into the natural matrix; (2) solubilization of the compounds of interest; (3) transport of the solute (compounds of interest) out of the natural matrix; (4) migration of the extracted solute from the external surface of the natural matrix into the bulk solution; (5) separation of the extract and discharge of the natural matrix [36,37]. SLE is influenced by a number of important factors that must be taken into account when we need to choose the most appropriate extraction method for the natural matrix under study, namely the polarity and thermolability of the compounds of interest, the features of the solvent (toxicity, volatility, polarity, viscosity and purity), the probability of artefacts’ formation during the extraction process and the amount of biomass to be extracted [38,39].

SLE of natural products has been employed almost since the discovery of fire. In many ancient civilizations, such as the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Jews, Arabs, Indians, Chineses, Greeks, Romans, Mayans, and Aztecs, innovative extraction processes—at that time (maceration, distillation, etc.)—have emerged to obtain perfumes, medicines or foods [40]. Current SLE methods can be divided into two main groups: traditional and alternative ones. Traditional methods comprise Soxhlet extraction, hydrodistillation, maceration, decoction, infusion, pressing, percolation, etc. Although they have been used since ancient times, they are very often time-consuming and require relatively large quantities of polluting solvents, which can lead to sample contamination, losses due to volatilization during concentration steps, and environmental pollution from solvent waste [41]. For these reasons, since the late 1970’s they have been substituted by faster and more efficient/selective techniques, namely MAE, UAE, PSE, SFE, PEF, EAE, and extractions with switchable solvents and ILs [32,42]. 2.1. Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) MAE is an efficient SLE method that takes advantage of microwave irradiation to accelerate the removal of a diversity of compounds from natural matrices [42–44]. In MAE, both heat and mass gradients work in the same direction, while in conventional heating they work in opposite directions [37,45]. Thus, in conventional heating, only the surface of the matrix is heated directly, and subsequent heating is by conduction from the surface to the core of the matrix particle. Conversely, MAE causes direct generation of heat within the matrix, by friction between polar molecules [45]. When a substrate containing water or other polar compounds is placed under the influence of an oscillating electric field (wavelengths: 1 mm–1 m; frequencies: 300 MHz–300 GHz; domestic and commercial systems: 2450 MHz), vibration/oscillation of polar molecules occurs, causing inter- and intra-molecular friction. This friction, together with the movement and collision of a very large number of charged ions, results in the rapid heating (in few seconds) of the matrix. Further intracellular heating leads to pressurized effects that induce cell walls and membranes to breakdown, in addition to electroporation effects. As a consequence, there is a faster transfer of the compounds from the cells into the extracting solvent [32,42,44,46]. The breakdown of cell walls is particularly important in what concerns the extraction of bioactive compounds from algae, since their cell walls are very complex [47]. Additionally, mechanical disruption techniques are also very useful to breakdown calcareous and siliceous skeletons of some hard sponges [48]. The application of microwave energy to the samples may be performed using open vessels at atmospheric pressure or closed ones, under controlled pressure and temperature. In this second case, the solvent can be heated above its normal boiling point by simply applying a defined pressure, which accelerates the mass transfer of the compounds from the natural matrix to the bulk solvent [38,41]. The higher the dielectric constant (ɛ′) of the solvent, the greater the energy absorbed by the molecules and the faster the solvent reaches the extraction temperature [32,34]. Polar solvents are better MAE extractants than non-polar ones, since ɛ′ decreases in the following order: water (ɛ′ = 78.3) >methanol (ɛ′ = 32.6) >ethanol (ɛ′ = 24.3)>acetone (ɛ′ = 20.7) >ethyl acetate (ɛ′ = 6.0) >hexane (ɛ′ = 1.9) [37].

2.2. Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) UAE significantly reduces the extraction time and increases the extraction yields of many natural matrices, due to the production of cavitation bubbles in the solvent [49]. Cavitation bubbles are produced in the liquid during the expansion phase. The negative pressure exerted by the expansion cycle exceeds the local tensile strength of the liquid [46,50]. This ability to cause cavitation depends on the characteristics of ultrasound wave, the solvent properties, and the ambient conditions [32,50,51]. After a cavitation bubble is produced, it collapses during the compression cycle, which push the liquid molecules together, and a high-speed micro-jet is created towards the matrix particle, promoting the mixture of the solvent with the matrix. The high pressure and temperature involved in this process, which can reach up to 1000 bar and up to 4726.85 °C, respectively, are responsible for an enhancement of mass transfer, since the shock wave breaks cell walls and membranes [50,51]. After cell disruption, the solvent can easily penetrate the solid particle, releasing the intracellular compounds to the bulk solvent [32,51–54]. The application of ultrasound can be divided into two distinct categories: low intensity–high frequency (100 kHz–1 MHz) and high intensity–low frequency (between 20 and 100 kHz) ultrasound, this last one being the only case that leads to the disruption of cell walls and membranes [51,55]. 2.3. Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) The use of supercritical fluids is an alternative extraction technique that produces extracts with none or fewer polar impurities than the conventional organic liquid extracts [56]. It is considered to be a green technology, since a concentration step is most often eliminated after the extraction process [57,58]. For any solvent, its vapor/liquid equilibrium curve culminates at the critical point (CP), above which only one phase occurs. All solvents possess a CP, which is characterized by a critical temperature (Tc) and a critical pressure (Pc). Experimental studies using SFE are usually limited to the region of Pc < P ≤ 6Pc and Tc < T ≤ 1.4Tc [59]. The efficiency of the extraction of compounds from a natural matrix using a supercritical fluid can be much higher than that with a liquid organic solvent at atmospheric pressure. The density of the supercritical fluid (250–800 kg/m3) is liquid-like (800–1200 kg/m3) and its solvent power can be controlled by the working pressure and temperature. On the other hand, the values of diffusivity, which are high (10−7–10−8 m2/s), and viscosity, which are low (10−4–10−3 N·s/m2), are between those of gases (10−4–10−5 m2/s and 10−5–10−4 N·s/m2, respectively) and liquids (10−8–10−9 m2/s and 10−3–10−2 N·s/m2, respectively); thus, the supercritical fluid is capable of a faster and deeper penetration into the solid particles [46,57–59]. The most commonly used supercritical fluid is CO2 because it has favorable Tc and Pc (31.1 °C and 73.9 bar) that are ideal for the extraction of thermolabile compounds. In addition, supercritical CO2 has low viscosity, low surface tension, high diffusivity and good density and is also non-toxic, non-flammable, cheap, widely available, chemically inert under several conditions, and gaseous at normal pressure and temperature, eliminating the step of solvent evaporation after extraction [46,56,58–61]. Furthermore, CO2 gives a non-oxidizing atmosphere in extractions, thus preventing extracts from degradation [62].

The greatest limitation of supercritical CO2 is that it is not suitable to extract polar compounds. However, the addition of an organic modifier or entrainer, such as EtOH or MeOH, can greatly improve extraction efficiency [58,59]. Other solvents, such as H2O, MeOH, EtOH, acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and toluene, are not appropriate to extract bioactive compounds, because their Tc is above 200 °C [63]. 2.4. Pressurized Solvent Extraction (PSE) PSE is a type of extraction that uses temperatures and pressures in the ranges of 50–200 °C and 35–200 bar, respectively, to extract desired compounds. These sets of pressure and temperature are lower than the Tc and Pc of the solvents, leading solvents to keep the liquid state. The high pressure applied causes the solvents to rise above their normal boiling point temperature and the increased temperature enhances solubility and mass transfer rate and reduces the viscosity and surface tension of the solvents. Thus, both temperature and pressure increase mass transfer rate. Water is the most widely used solvent for subcritical fluid extraction. Additionally, other solvents, such as propane and dimethyl ether (DME), can also be used for subcritical fluid extraction [46,64–66]. Extraction with liquefied DME is cost-efficient and environmentally friendly. Since DME is partially miscible with water, it allows the simultaneous extraction of non-polar target metabolites and the removal of water from wet matrices. Moreover, the liquefied DME (with Tc = 127 °C and Pc = 53.7 bar) is evaporated under low-pressure conditions and taken off as a gas, since its normal boiling point is low (−24.8 °C) and its saturated vapor pressure at 20 °C is 5.1 bar. Another advantage of DME over other ethers is that it is resistant to autoxidation. A common liquefied DME extraction is performed at room temperatures, at pressures around 5.1–5.9 bar. DME is afterwards evaporated from the extract simply by decompression of the collecting vessel or by heating [63,67–70]. 2.5. Pulsed Electric Field-Assisted Extraction Pulsed electric fields (PEFs) can be used to enhance mass transfer processes, by destroying cell membranes. A moderate PEF treatment is defined by applying a field strength of 0.5–1.0 kV/cm and treatment times in the range of 100–10,000 µs, or field strength in the range of 1–10 kV/cm and shorter times (5–100 µs) [71–73]. Depending on the intensity, amplitude, duration, number, and repetition frequency of the external electric pulses, reversible or irreversible pores are produced in the membranes. Irreversible pores formation is of great importance for extraction of bioactive compounds from natural matrices. Usually, treatments of electric field strength from 0.7 to 3 kV/cm, a specific energy of 1–20 kJ/kg, couple hundred of pulses, and total time duration lower than 1s are used for natural products extraction. These conditions are weaker than those required to inactivate microorganisms (15–20 kV/cm and specific energy of 40–1000 kJ/kg) [46,72,73]. The relation between the conductivity of intact and disintegrated cells is called cell disintegration index Zp. If there is no difference between the conductivity of the untreated and PEF-treated cell membrane, the Zp value is 0. If, by contrast, Zp = 1, this indicates the maximum of cell disintegration due to PEF treatment [72].

2.6. Enzyme-Assisted Extraction Food-grade digestive enzymes, such as proteases and carbohydrases, can be used to macerate the tissues and break down the cell walls of natural matrices, releasing cell contents. This is particularly important for marine algae, since cell walls and cuticles are made up of chemically complex and heterogeneous biomolecules [64]. Temperature, pH, proportion of substrate to enzyme, type of solvent (water or buffer with appropriate pH) and agitation are important parameters to be considered [46,74]. Enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE) offers several advantages: (i) it is an ecofriendly and nontoxic process; (ii) it allows high yields of bioactive compounds to be obtained; (iii) it converts water-insoluble raw materials into water-soluble materials; and (iv) it is a relatively low-cost technology because of the use of food grade enzymes [64,75]. Table 1 displays the optimum conditions of pH and temperature of the most common enzymes used, as well as their sources. Table 1.

2.7. Smart Solvents: Switchable Solvents and Ionic Liquids Switchable solvents are a smart new class of extracting solvents that are able to turn from a non-ionic form (an alcohol and an amine base) to an ionic liquid (a salt in liquid form), by bubbling CO2 and, by exposing to N2, to return to the non-ionic form. Bioactive compounds can be separated from the solvent just by adding CO2 [82]. Switchable-polarity solvents (SPS) display two degrees of polarity. They have low polarity while in the non-ionic form and high polarity in the ionic one, polarity ranging from that of ether/toluene to that of ethylenoglycol [82–84]. The low polarity form may consist of amidine/alcohol mixtures (e.g., 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)/ROH)), guanidine/alcohol mixtures (e.g., tetramethylguanidine/ROH), amidine/amine mixtures (e.g., DBU/RNH2), secondary amines, diamines and guanidine/acidic alcohol mixtures [84]. Switchable hydrophilicity solvents (SHS), such as several tertiary amines, are liquid solvents that are hydrophobic. However, when exposed to CO2, these solvents become very hydrophilic. Thus, SHS can be easily removed from the extracted natural products with carbonated water [84,85]. Ionic liquids (ILs) are designer solvents, because they can be tailor-made. They are organic liquid salts composed of large asymmetric organic cations (imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, pyridinium, ammonium or phosphonium) and several different inorganic or organic anions, such as BF4−, PF6−, Cl−, and Br− anions. They are very versatile, since their polarity, hydrophobicity, viscosity and other chemical and physical properties can be selected by choosing the cationic or the anionic constituents. Moreover, they are low-melting point solvents and their non-flammable and non-volatile nature makes them an excellent choice for the development of safer processes [39,86,87]. Nonetheless, some ILs are not environmentally friendly and require a toxic and laborious purification process [88]. 3. Most Common Marine Compounds Obtained by Alternative Extraction Processes 3.1. Terpenoids Marine organisms are rich sources of bioactive terpenes with antimicrobial [89–92], anticancer [93–98] and anti-inflammatory [99] activities. From the point of view of extraction methods, carotenoids are the most studied class of compounds. Their usefulness is extensive, having a variety of applications in the food industry as colorants in foodstuffs, for instance, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein [100–102], being also used for animal feeding in aquaculture [95,101]. Regarding human health, some carotenoids (α- and β-carotene and β-cryptoxanthin) display provitamin A activity [95,103]. They also act as potent antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular protectors, such as astaxanthin and fucoxanthin [95,104], although at high oxygen pressures they behave as pro-oxidants [105]. Lutein and zeaxanthin act as preventive antioxidants against age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and age-related cataracts [100,102]. Moreover, the nervous system is rich in both unsaturated fats and iron (with strong pro-oxidative properties), which make tissues particularly prone to oxidative damage. Thus, because of their antioxidant potential, carotenoids could fight neurodegenerative diseases [104]. Epidemiological studies have also suggested that the intake of β-carotene, astaxanthin, cantaxanthin, and zeaxanthin is inversely correlated with cancer prevalence [95,103,104].

3.1.1. Monoterpenes and Sesquiterpenes Gao et al. [106] performed SFE to extract halogenated monoterpenes from red seaweed Plocamium cartilagineum (Linnaeus) P.S. Dixon. Different temperatures (40–100 °C), pressures (250–400 bar) and % of entrainer (2%–10% of methanol) were tested and several compounds were extracted: (3R,4S)3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(E)-octatriene-7-al; (3R,4S)7-bromochloromethyl-3methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(E)-octatriene; (3R,4R)7-dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro1,5(E),7(Z)-octatriene; (3R,4S)7-dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(Z)-octatriene; (3R,4R)1-bromo-7-dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1(E),5(E),7(Z)-octatriene; (3R,4S)1-bromo7-dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1(E),5(E),7(Z)-octatriene; (3R,4S,7S)3,7-dimethyl-1,8,8tribromo-3,4,7-trichloro-1(E),5(E)-octadiene; and (3R,4S,7S)1,8-dibromo-3,7-dimethyl-3,4,7-trichloro1(E),5(E)-octadiene. Concerning the influence of pressure and temperature, above 300 bar/40 °C the concentration of (3R,4S)3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(E)-octatriene-7-al in the SFE extracts was higher than that at 250 bar/40 °C. By contrast, the concentration of (3R,4S)7-bromochloromethyl-3methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(E)-octatriene at 250 bar/40 °C was higher than that above 300 bar/40 °C. Moreover, pure CO2 yielded more halogenated monoterpenes than CO2 mixed with ethanol, since the mixture also extracted other kinds of compounds. It was found that the recoveries of (3R,4S)3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(E)-octatriene-7-al and of (3R,4S)7-bromochloromethyl-3methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(E)-octatriene using SFE reached 238% and 218%, respectively, of the same monoterpenes obtained from conventional solvent extraction with hexane. However, recoveries of compounds (3R,4R)7-dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(Z)-octatriene, (3R,4S)7-dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1,5(E),7(Z)-octatriene, (3R,4R)1-bromo-7dichloromethyl-3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1(E),5(E),7(Z)-octatriene, (3R,4S)1-bromo-7-dichloromethyl3-methyl-3,4,8-trichloro-1(E),5(E),7(Z)-octatriene and (3R,4S,7S)3,7-dimethyl-1,8,8-tribromo-3,4,7trichloro-1(E),5(E)-octadiene in relation to the conventional extraction were 133%, 100%, 78%, 37%, and 47%, respectively. The volatiles of Gloiopeltis tenax (Turner) Decaisne, a marine red algae, were obtained by SFE at 300 bar, 45 °C and CO2 + ethanol [107]. Twenty three compounds belonging to different chemical classes were identified: terpenes ((−)-thujopsene, cedrol, (+)-cuparene, α-curcumene, (−)-β-bisabolene and α-zingiberene), fatty acids, sterols, among others. This extract revealed antioxidant activity and antimicrobial potential against Staphyloccocus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E. coli [107]. Johnson et al. [108] performed a PSE of the sponge Cacospongia mycofijiensis Kakou, Crews and Bakus (samples 07327A and 07327G) with three different solvents (hexane, dichloromethane and methanol), at 117 bar, 110 °C, as well as traditional solvent extraction with dichloromethane. Since three unrecognizable metabolites were detected in the PSE dichloromethane fractions as well as in the traditional extract, they further exhaustively extracted the compounds from 07327A with the traditional technique, affording the sesquiterpenes, aignopsanoic acid A, methyl aignopsanoate A, and isoaignopsanoic acid A, together with non-terpenoid compounds: latrunculol A (a latrunculin that has been pursued as a preclinical antitumor candidate [109]), fijianolide B (a polyketide macrolide with taxol-like microtubule-stabilizing activity [110]) and latrunculin A (an inhibitor of actin polymerization [111]). Aignopsanoic acid A and methyl aignopsanoate A were active against the parasite

Trypanosoma brucei [108]. Later, the same authors [109] analyzed the PSE dichloromethane fraction obtained from sample 07327F, identifying and isolating 16 compounds, from which 12 were already known, including latrunculins, fijianolides, mycothiazole, the aignopsanes, and sacrotride A. From the four new compounds identified, two were derivatives of the aignopsane class, aignopsanoic acid B and aignopsane ketal. Several mono and sesquiterpenes were extracted by MAE-hydrodistillation from the brown algae Dictyopteris membranaceae, namely α-cubebene, α-copaene, β-bourbonene, β-cubebene, germacrene D, aromadendrene, azulene, sativene, epi-bicyclosesquiphellandrene, δ-cadinene, α-calacorene, axenol, 1,10-di-epi-cubebol, α-amorphene, and vulgarol B [112]. 3.1.2. Diterpenes Phytol was isolated from the brown algae Dictyopteris membranaceae by SFE at 91 bar/40 °C, 1.8 g/min of CO2 flow rate and 35 min of extraction time (5 min static time + 30 min dynamic time) [112]. The meroditerpenes (+)-isojaspic acid, cacospongin D and jaspaquinol were isolated from the marine sponge Cacospongia sp. They were recovered from fractions P3, P4 and P5 obtained with PSE performed with hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol. Their antimicrobial activity was evaluated against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, being active against this last one [113]. 3.1.3. Carotenoids and Other Pigments Tables 2–5 list the best extraction conditions for marine carotenoids using MAE [43,114], UAE [53,60,61,65,114–117], SFE [53,56,57,60–62,69,70,100,116,118–128] and PLE [65,69,70,115,129–132]. When several extraction conditions were tested, the best ones are marked with a symbol (§). In the majority of the cases, carotenoids are co-extracted with other pigments, such as chlorophylls. In Table 4, we report the conditions of pressure and temperature that allow obtaining the highest ratio of carotenoids/chlorophylls (Car/Chl) in order to have SFE extract richer in carotenoids. In comparison with conventional methods, alternative extraction methodologies claim to reduce extraction time, energy consumption as well as solvent amounts used in the extraction. For instance, compared to conventional extraction methods, the use of microwaves and UAE accelerated the extraction of pigments from the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium (Ehrenberg) Reimann and J.C.Lewin, since extraction yields obtained after 60 min by soaking (either at room temperature or high temperature) were achieved in a few minutes using MAE and UAE [114]. However, sometimes the recovery of the compounds of interest is lower than that obtained with maceration and Soxhlet extraction. For Nannochloropsis sp., the total pigments yield obtained with SFE (300 bar, 40 °C, 140 min) corresponded to 70% recovery compared to cold extraction (performed until the supernatant was colorless) with ethyl acetate and acetone [120]. Compared with the conventional extraction with ethanol (room temperature, 120 min), SFE (400 bar, 40 °C, 180 min) from the seaweed Undaria pinnatifida (Harvey) Suringar allowed also the recovery of ≈80% of total fucoxanthin. However, a pretreatment by microwave before SFE shifted the recovery to almost 120% [56].

30 kDa fraction of the celluclast extract also strongly enhanced cell viability against H2O2-induced oxidative damage and showed good lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity in a Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79-4) cell line. Other potentialities were encountered for the enzymatic extracts of E. cava. The kojizyme extract prepared with E. cava enhanced the proliferation of mice splenocytes and increased the number of their lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes [181,182]; the polysaccharide fraction (richest in fucose and containing also rhamnose, galactose, glucose, mannose, and xylose) obtained from the AMG-assisted extraction from E. cava displayed the strongest anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages among several carbohydrases and proteases extracts [183]. More recently, the apoptotic effect of the neutrase extract of S. coreanum, as well as its fractions, was evaluated over several cancer cell lines (HL-60, CT-26, B-16, and HeLa cells) and normal cells (Vero cells), enlightening the promising properties of the crude polysaccharide fraction composed by fucose (40.85%), galactose (26.24%). and glucose (12.99%) against HL-60 cells [75]. The antioxidant potential of enzymatic extracts prepared from the red algae Palmaria palmata (L.) Weber and Mohr was tested using DPPH radical scavenging activity, oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and ferrous ion-chelating ability assays [79]. All the proteases (umamizyme, alcalase, protamex, kojizyme, neutrase, and flavourzyme) tested, produced extracts with stronger effect on the extraction of polyphenols in comparison with the carbohydrases (viscozyme, ultraflo, AMG, celluclast, and termamyl) and cold water extraction. Umamizyme provided the highest extraction yield (76.3%), the highest total phenolic content (15.5 g gallic acid/kg extract) and the strongest scavenging capacity

Mar. Drugs 2015, 13

3213

against DPPH (EC50 = 0.6 mg/mL) and peroxyl radical (>140 μmol trolox equivalents/g extract). The authors attributed the lower total phenolic content of carbohydrase extracts to the possible formation of protein–polyphenol complexes during extraction, which would prevent polyphenols release [79,184]. Afterwards, umamizyme extract was fractionated, revealing that while the crude polyphenol fraction possessed the highest peroxyl radical and DPPH scavenging activity, as demonstrated for the crude extract, the crude polysaccharide fraction was more effective as Fe2+ chelator [79]. Grimi et al. [185] studied the extraction of intracellular components from the microalgae Nannochloropsis sp. with application of two electrical and two mechanical cell disruption techniques, including PEF (20 kV/cm, 1–4 ms, 13.3–53.1 kJ/kg), high voltage electrical discharge (HVED) (40 kV/cm, 1–4 ms, 13.3–53.1 kJ/kg), UAE (200 W, 1–8 min, 12–96 kJ/kg), and high pressure homogenization (HPH) (1500 bar, 1–10 passes, 150–1500 kJ/kg). They concluded that PEF and HVED allowed selective extraction of water soluble ionic components and microelements, small molecular weight organic compounds (amino acids), and water soluble proteins, while UAE and HPH were more selective for pigments (chlorophylls or carotenoids) extraction. Taurine is a sulfur-containing β-amino acid that cannot be easily synthesized in humans. It has several beneficial effects in the organisms, working as neurotransmitter, antioxidant, modulator of intracellular Ca2+, and as osmolyte [186]. Wang et al. [186] tested different UAE conditions to extract taurine from the red algae Porphyra yezoensis Ueda, namely extraction time (15–45 min), ultrasound power (100–300 W) and extraction temperature (20–60 °C). The solvent used was water. The highest taurine content was obtained at 300 W, 40.5 °C and 38.3 min. Rudd and Benkendorff [187] extracted the brominated indole precursors of the dye Tyrian purple from the hypobranchial gland of the mollusc Dicathais orbita Gmelin using supercritical fluids (dried samples) and conventional chloroform:methanol extraction (dried and fresh samples). Tyrindoxyl sulfate was only present in the conventional extract obtained from the fresh material, while tyrindoleninone, 6-bromoisatin and tyriverdin were observed in the SFE extract (300 bar) and freeze-dried chloroform:methanol extract. At 150 bar, only 6-bromoisatin was detected, while at 500 bar the extact was dominated by tyrindoleninone and tyriverdin. These three compounds have important biological activities, such as anticancer and bacteriolytic. The great advantage of SFE extracts over conventional ones is the absence of choline esters, which can be toxic at high concentrations. Byproducts (aquapharyngeal bulb and internal organs) of the sea cucumber Cucumaria frondosa Gunnerus were subjected to two different extraction methods. The traditional method consisted in successively extracting the dried material with hexane, acetone, MeOH, and water, while in the alternative one, the fresh material was incubated with one of the following enzymes: alcalase, neutral protease, papain, and protamex. All extracts were characterized in terms of crude protein, ash, fats, and neutral sugars, the extract obtained by the traditional extraction being the only one without neutral sugars. Papain extract obtained from aquapharyngeal bulb was the most active one against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). This extract was further fractionated and tested in Vero cells. The highest molecular weight fraction (>100 kDa) displayed the highest anti-HSV-1 activity, revealing a possible contribution of lectins to the inhibition of the virus [188]. The antiviral activity of enzymatic hydrolysates obtained from the seaweeds Solieria chordalis (C. Agardh) J. Agardh, Ulva sp. and Sargassum muticulum (Yendo) Fensholt was also studied by Hardouin et al. [189]. Six enzymes were used to hydrolyze the biomass, namely, two proteases and four carbohydrases, and the fractions obtained

Mar. Drugs 2015, 13

3214

were characterized in terms of ash, neutral sugars, uronic acids, sulfate groups, proteins, total nitrogen lipids, and total phenol. The best anti-HSV-1 fraction tested on Vero cells was the one resulting from the action of endo-peptidase on Solieria chordialis dried biomass. Fish bones are rich in chondroitin sulfate, which has a wide application in medicine, health food, cosmetics, and other fields due to its bioactivities, such as anticoagulant, antitumor, prevention of arteries hardening, and arthritis relieving [190]. He et al. [190] compared the extraction of chondroitin sulfate by PEF, UAE (23 min), EAE with pancreatic enzyme (240 min) and alkali method (120 min). PEF parameters evaluated were NaOH concentration (1%–6%), biomass:liquid ratio (1:5–1:25 g/mL), electric field strength (5–25 kV/cm) and pulse number (2–12). The optimized conditions were found to be electric field strength of 16.88 kV/cm, pulse number of nine, NaOH concentration of 3.24%, and biomass:liquid ratio of 1:15 g/mL. These conditions allowed 2.02, 1.84 and 1.42 times higher amount of chondroitin sulfateto be obtained than the EAE, alkali method and UAE, respectively, in a shorter time (5 min, pulse number =9, 18 μs).

- They are very versatile, since their chemical and physical properties can be selected by choosing the cationic or the anionic constituents; - Safer technology because they are low-melting point, non-flammable and non-volatile solvents; - Some of them are environmentally friendly.

- Not all ILs are green solvents; - Some ILs require laborious purification.

4. Conventional vs. Alternative Extraction Methods: Future Perspectives The selection of an appropriate extraction technique considers not only the degree of recovery, but also the cost, extraction time, volume of solvent used, selectivity, greenness of the method, and possibility of scale-up. All extraction methods, either the conventional or the alternative ones, present advantages and limitations (Table 10) [36,46,135,192]. According to Romanik et al. [34], Soxhlet was cheaper, but more time and solvent consuming than UAE, MAE, PSE and SFE. On the other hand, the implementation of high pressure equipment greatly increased the costs associated with PSE and SFE. Concerning to the time of extraction, it ranged from 6–48 h for Soxhlet extraction, less than 30 min by UAE, PSE and MAE and less than 60–120 min with SFE [34]. SFE, PSE, and extractions employing switchable solvents and ILs are very versatile and selective because they allow obtaining different extracts, either by using distinct conditions of pressure and temperature (SFE and PLE), different combinations of anion and cation (ILs) or by bubbling N2 or CO2 (Switchable solvents) [59,82,86]. In this new millennium, the search for environmentally friendly technologies has been a primary concern in laboratories devoted to the extraction of natural compounds. However, in what concerns marine organisms, the old fashion, toxic and exhaustive techniques are still the common practice around the world. To change this paradigm it is necessary to prove the safety and efficacy of the new solvents, as well as to reduce the costs of the new pressurized technologies, or to increase the budget for research, in order

to persuade researchers to invest in these new procedures. It is difficult to change when old procedures still work, but if the implementation of policies to reduce the use of toxic solvents is carried out, the alternative extraction methods will be more sought. In this sense, the European scenario is being dramatically altered by Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006—REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) [193], which concerns chemical substances, either as such, or incorporated into products or manufactured objects, whereas Directive 2008/1/EC—IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention Control) [194] is aimed at reducing the contribution of industry to non-sustainable development [40]. On the other hand, it is understandable that exhaustive extraction procedures, like Soxhlet extraction and maceration, are still used to extract marine compounds. In general, it is more challenging to obtain large quantities of bioactive compounds from marine organisms than from terrestrial species, since they produce only trace quantities of carotenoids, volatiles, sterols, alkaloids, etc. [195]. Moreover, the marine ecosystem is not inexhaustible and there is a supply problem that limits the use of large amount of marine organisms, especially of marine invertebrates [196]. Therefore, it is necessary to exhaustively extract with large amount of toxic solvents, to recover as much quantity of compounds and as many compounds as possible. New procedures are already available (as this review showed) that, despite being not so efficient, most of the time, are less time and solvent consuming and can avoid possible degradation, oxidation, or interconversion of the original compounds into different ones. For instance, SFE and PSE with apolar solvents are good options to extract volatile compounds (see Section 3.1.1), since it can be done at low temperatures. SFE is also a method of choice to selectively extract carotenoids to the detriment of chlorophylls (see Section 3.1.3), as well as to obtain a high unsaturated/saturated fatty acids ratio (Section 3.2), by simply choosing the adequate set of pressure and temperature. Regarding fatty acids, EAE with proteases can also contribute to enhance the extraction efficiency of fatty acids, since these enzymes hydrolyze the structural proteins in which fat globules are embedded [163]. In general, extraction of compounds from algae can take advantage of EAE with both proteases and carbohydrases, since they can degrade cell walls and release compounds [64], as well as from MAE, UAE and PEF, as these techniques work for the same purpose [32]. In what concerns other classes of compounds, few studies have been conducted and, thus, no conclusions about the best alternative extraction method can be withdraw. We think that the new route will definitely be the choice for green technologies and for a sustainable use of marine ecosystems. However, the new millennium also brought the insistent claim of the “green label” to be attributed to new solvents and technologies. In 1998, Anastas and Warner [197] established the twelve principles of green chemistry, which concern: (1) the prevention of waste production; (2) atom economy; (3) less hazardous chemical syntheses; (4) the design of safer and less toxic chemicals; (5) the use of safer solvents and reduction of the use of auxiliary substances; (6) the design for energy efficiency; (7) the use of renewable feedstocks; (8) avoidance of unnecessary derivatization; (9) preference for catalytic reagents rather than stoichiometric reagents; (10) the design of degradation; (11) real-time analysis for pollution prevention; and (12) inherently safer chemistry for accident prevention. Later, Chemat et al. [40] defined green extraction and established its six principles. Green extraction is based on the discovery and design of extraction processes that will reduce energy consumption, allow the use of alternative solvents and renewable natural products, and ensure a safe and high quality extract/product. Their principles are: (1) innovation by choosing renewable natural matrices; (2) the use of alternative and eco-friendly solvents; (3) reduction of energy consumption; (4) production of

3217

co-products instead of waste; (5) reduction of unit operations and favoring safer and controlled processes; (6) aiming for a non-denatured and biodegradable extract free from contaminants. As a result of the competitiveness and the pressure of consumers for green products, there has been several inaccurate assertions of “greenness”, based only on one or a few principles of green chemistry [198]. For instance, ILs, in general, are claimed to be green solvents, but Deetlefs and Seddon [88] argued that some of them are not. Therefore, continued research on the safety/toxic assessment of new ILs is needed, as well as the development of new and green ILs. Nonetheless, SFE with CO2, PLE and other kinds of extractions performed with water correspond to a true green technology without the need of further evidence. Another important factor to take into consideration is the possibility to scale-up the process from analytical to industrial scale, in order to extract large amounts of the compounds of interest and to convince industry to move to the alternative extraction techniques. Laboratory scale studies are used to obtain data on phase equilibria, mass transfer rate and solubility, which are necessary for the scaling up of the process [199]. Several works on the scale-up of SFE and hot water PSE have been published [191,200–203]. Conversely, for MAE and UAE more research is needed due to the scarce number of reports published [204,205]. However, large-scale extraction processes can only be performed when the supply problem is overcome, for example, by large-scale aquaculture. 5. Conclusions This review compared different alternative methods for extracting marine bioactive compounds. Studies from the period comprising 2000–2014 reporting the extraction of terpenoids, fatty acids, sterols, alkaloids, phenolics, and other compounds were taken into consideration. From the analyzed data it can be concluded that, in comparison with traditional methods, alternative methods are much less time consuming, reducing the extraction time from hours to minutes. On the other hand, most of the time they are less efficient, allowing the recovery of lower amounts of bioactive compounds compared to the exhaustive Soxhlet extraction or maceration. However, if one’s goal is to reduce time and solvent consumption, alternative extraction methodologies are the best option. Moreover, SFE and PLE are very sensitive methods, allowing the selective extraction of a determined class of compounds, to the detriment of others, by changing the set of pressure and temperature of the solvent (in SFE and PLE), or by adding a co-solvent (in the case of SFE) or by changing the solvent (in the case of PLE). The great advantage of these techniques is that in the case of CO2-SFE, the extracts are solvent-free and devoid of the toxic effects of hazard solvents. The same is applicable to PLE performed with dimethyl ether, which is a gas at normal pressure and temperature conditions. The field of extraction of bioactive compounds has progressed with the advance of smart solvents. These amazing, powerful and highly selective solvents can be tailored to the matrix under study and a huge amount of combinations of ILs or SPS are nowadays available to selectively extract a particular class of compounds. Finally, extraction yields can be greatly improved and the time of extraction greatly reduced by applying different techniques to disrupt cell walls and membranes. Mechanical (MAE and UAE), electrical (PEP) and enzymatic (EAE) technologies are available and results have proved their efficiency.

Despite all the advantages of the alternative extraction techniques described in this review, conventional extraction methods are still dominating the daily practices of most laboratories worldwide. This may be mainly because (i) of the costs associated with the implementation of high pressure techniques, such as SFE and PLE; (ii) the use of smart solvents is very recent and more tests to assess their safety are needed; (iii) the compounds extracted by alternative extraction can also be extracted with conventional methods.
